I looked on the server and the files for 3.8.4 are there but when I point my browser to the /finalupdate.php it only displays 3.7.4

Alright, good news is that I got the site updated to the most current version it will let me install, bad news is that the domain will not work but if you go to the domain/index.php it works.

That would indicate that index.php is not set as default page in the webserver.

For upgrade instructions, please see the manual: Upgrading vBulletin Also check if there are specific instructions inside the package for the release you are installing.

PS The site that deals with support on default vBulletin is the official company website: www.vbulletin.com.

PPS If you are not too experienced in daeling with vBulletin i recommend setting up a test copy of your site to test any work before performing it on hte life site.

That is a good idea, I think I am going to purchase a license for myself and build my own set of boards so that I can have the experience. Thank you for all your helps guys, hope to one day be able to help someone too.

The License Agreement allows you to have 1 test installation in addition to the production site.
